Shao Xixin said: "That's not the case! I just waved my sword to block it. Why did this guy get so pissed off? It's not right for you to do this. Are you worthy of the Cuiyu sword I pulled out?"

While Shao Xi was condemning Xu Jinhong's irresponsibility from the soul level, the gongs and shouts in the government office were already ringing. It seems that after all the trouble just now, many officials and guards in the government office have been alerted.

Shao Xi saw that it was not a good place to stay here for a long time, so he twisted his toes, jumped into the house, and ran towards Zhang Chong's house in the south of the city.

Before leaving, I leave a piece of advice to everyone: everything should be done in moderation and know how to exercise moderation, otherwise it will turn into a joke in the end.

When we arrived at the south of the city, we heard a whistle not far away. Looking up, he saw Old Wu standing on the roof of a building, waving to him.

The two fell into the courtyard and saw Zhang Chong standing alone in the courtyard, looking embarrassed.

"Well, Miss Zhao is changing clothes. It's not convenient for me to stay in the house, so I'll wait for you in the courtyard."

This is a time when time is tight and tasks are heavy. There is no time to talk about unimportant things. Shao Xi hurriedly told Zhang Chong: "Now that we have alerted the people in the government office, someone will come to find you soon, and we will go out together to hunt down the thieves who broke into the county government office tonight. You must remember to hide Miss Zhao well. Now Lao Wu and I We should hurry back to the inn, I think Mr. Zhao will definitely take someone to the inn to verify whether we have gone out tonight?"

Zhang Chong nodded quickly and replied: "You two adults, please rest assured, I will definitely hide Miss Zhao. You go back quickly and go to the inn later to verify whether the person you are going out tonight may be me leading the team."

"Okay! Old Wu, let's go back to the inn now."

Old Wu responded, and the two of them jumped onto the nearby roof and ran towards the inn.

At this moment, the area around the county government office had already become a mess, and Xu Jinhong's body had been discovered and reported to Zhao Tianrong. At this point, perhaps he should be called Yan Song.

He looked at Xu Jinhong who was lying dead on the ground, and his teeth were itching with hatred. This was the goose pecked in his eye. They have always gone to others to make a fortune, but now someone has made a fortune on their heads. To him, this is simply a huge irony.

"Have you found out how many people are there? What things have been lost?" Yan Song was really a little angry at this moment.

"Back to your lord, it was reported that there were two people coming. Nothing was lost, but the lady did."

"What? The lady is lost? You useless trash can't stand a living person. No matter what method you use, you must find her back in the shortest possible time."

Yan Song was panicking inside at this time. Everything else is easy to say, this Zhao Qiaoyun is the daughter of the real County Magistrate Zhao. If she escapes, her identity as the fake County Magistrate will be exposed. Therefore, the top priority now is to get Zhao Qiaoyun back at all costs, regardless of life or death.

In the past six months, nearly half of the government officials have been replaced by Yan Song. So at this moment, he naturally understood what he meant by retrieving him, and his men hurriedly gathered people to prepare for a city-wide manhunt.

"Immediately send someone to call Zhang Chong and ask him to inform the Yameni police officers to rush to the inn to check whether the two adults who came to the 'Jingcheng Division' are okay."

Although he said this, he actually started leading people towards the inn. Since there are two people coming tonight, it must be those two people, but the officials of the "Jingcheng Division" are not what he can get if he wants to. Only by finding a way to turn these two people into bandits can he escape from his shell.

Halfway through, he met Zhang Chong who was rushing over, so they rushed to the inn together. Along the way, Zhang Chong deliberately kept asking about what happened in the county government office. In fact, he wanted to use this to slow down everyone's progress and buy time for Shao Xi and the other two.

When we arrived at the door of the inn, a government servant had already come forward and slapped the door panel. The innkeeper and the waiter were both in a dazed sleep. Suddenly they heard someone banging on the door in the middle of the night, and they hurriedly opened the door to check. When he saw that the people standing in front of the door were all government officials, the shopkeeper immediately panicked. He didn't know whether there was something wrong with the customers in the store, or if some thieves had escaped into their store.

Zhang Chong pushed the shopkeeper aside and squeezed in, calling Shao Xi and Shao Xi loudly on purpose. In fact, he first wanted to confirm whether the two of them had returned, and second, he wanted to inform them that Yan Song had brought someone to the door.

Everyone saw Shao Xi and Lao Wu walking down the stairs, yawning and looking like they had just been woken up and had not slept enough.

When Yan Song saw the two of them in the inn, he thought that they came back quickly enough. Now that he couldn't get anything to do with them, he could only pretend to be polite.

"It's really the official's fault for disturbing the two adults' clear dreams. But tonight the thief actually broke into the county office, killed my son-in-law, and kidnapped my daughter. The situation is really urgent. That's why I came here. Check whether the two adults have been disturbed by the thieves, for your own safety."

Shao Xi pretended to be surprised and said: "The thief is so bold. He dares to break into the government office at night, hurt people and kidnap Miss Zhao? That's okay! The two of us will definitely help each other to catch the thief."

Yan Song quickly bowed to thank him, then turned back to his servant and said, "You are going to check this inn inside and out, up and down, to see if the thief has sneaked into the inn and threatened the safety of the two adults. There must be no omissions. If anything goes wrong between the two adults, I will ask you for it."

In fact, everyone is pretending to be confused at this moment. Shao Xi and Lao Wu also know very well that Yan Song is taking the opportunity to search the inn to see if anyone is hiding here, but on the surface, they still want to thank the county magistrate for his care. . In fact, now everyone has a tacit understanding. In their hearts, they want to tear each other to pieces and bite them to pieces, but they are still polite and respectful.

Shao Xi pretended to be polite and said: "Master Zhao is really thoughtful, but today such a big thing happened in your house, how can we just stand by and watch? Just leave a few people here to check, the others still have to go out to arrest the thieves, we Let’s go with the adults to hunt down the thief.”

"It is disrespectful to disturb the two adults late at night. How dare you, Mr. Labor, to run around with us? Your Excellency appreciates your kindness and please take a rest early."

"Hey! What are you talking about, Mr. Zhao? It's our duty to collect thefts and find the perpetrators, so why do we have to work? We are going to set off right away and search the whole city to find Miss Zhao."

"In this case, I will thank you two adults here."

"Mr. Zhao, you're welcome, let's go!"

Next, such a strange scene appeared on the streets of Wanxian County. The thief-catcher and the thief-doer pretended to go all over the city to search for the people who were around them at the moment, and they couldn't figure out who was the soldier and who was the thief! Anyway, it was as lively and lively as a parade, which was simply ridiculous.

After shopping for most of the night, everyone was tired. The most tiring ones were Yan Song and Shao Xi. Even though they knew they couldn't find anything, they still had to act hard and pretend to be positive and serious. This is indeed a test of whether the acting skills of both parties are strong or idol-like. It would be strange if they are not tired.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, it was Yan Song who gave in first.

"Two adults, it seems that this night's search will have no results. It is almost dawn, please two adults go back and rest early."

Shao Xi said with a tired look: "I won't sleep anymore. I have important things to do. Since we can't help Mr. Zhao, let's go back and pack up. We will leave Wanxian today and continue on our way."

Yan Song felt relieved when he heard that Shao Xi and the others were leaving today. After all, these two people are really shrewd. If they stay in Wanxian, he is afraid that their flaws will be exposed over time. Just keep an eye on the two of them to ensure that Zhao Qiaoyun is not taken out of the city.

"Since you have important matters, it is not convenient for me to keep you here. I just had a very pleasant chat with the two adults yesterday, and now I have to say goodbye. I feel very reluctant to leave you. I will order someone to go back to the house to get some money to support you." For adults to use on the road.”

After saying this, Yan Song and Shao Xi both felt "vomited" in their hearts. How can we have such a happy conversation and be reluctant to part with him? At this moment, they all wanted to kill each other. Especially Yan Song, he wished they could get out of here quickly and stop being in the way.

"Master Zhao, you're being polite. You can drink and eat, but we can't accept the money. This is the rule, and you know it. Let's say goodbye here!"

Zhang Chong took advantage of the opportunity and said: "After a long night of hard work, Mr. Zhao has worked hard. Why don't we have someone take Mr. Zhao's place to escort the two adults from the "Jingcheng Division" out of the city? We can also ask for advice from the two adults along the way. The ability to catch murderers and thieves.”

Yan Song had originally planned to send someone to keep an eye on the two of them as they left the city. What Zhang Chong said was exactly what he wanted, so he nodded and agreed. The two parties saluted and said goodbye, and Yan Song took the people back to the county government office, while Zhang Chong followed Shao Xi and the others back to the inn.

When they arrived at the inn, Shao Xi and the two hurriedly packed up, paid the money, and rushed to their home in the south of the city with Zhang Chong.

"If we follow you home like this, will it arouse others' suspicion?"

Shao Xi is still not sure about Yan Song, and wonders if he has sent more people to follow him secretly? If discovered, wouldn't Zhang Chong be implicated?

"Don't worry, sir. I just said that after a night of hard work, you are covered in dust. Now that I have to send the two adults out of the city, I naturally have to go home and change into clean clothes. This will not arouse any suspicion."

Zhang Chong's explanation is perfect and impeccable. Hearing this, Shao Xi felt relieved.

Arriving at Zhang Chong's home, as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Zhao Qiaoyun had put on the robe that Shao Xi asked Old Wu to bring before. Although it didn't fit particularly well, it was still passable. It's just the hair and the way she looks that tell you she's still a girl.

In order to open the city gate in time for dawn, Lao Wu hurriedly began to disguise Zhao Qiaoyun. This old guy has been going smoothly for so many years. In addition to his good body skills, he relies on this skill.

After a lot of busy work, Shao Xi and Zhang Chong were dumbfounded when they looked at Zhao Qiaoyun again.

Shao Xi stared straight at the face in front of him and muttered, "Is there a mirror? Give me a mirror quickly."

It seemed like he had to go through the mirror that time ten years ago.
